Productivity improvement plays essential role on cost reduction and production planning in many organizations. There are literally various methods for measuring productivity and improving systems’ capabilities such as total quality management, 5S, etc. In this paper, we perform an empirical investigation to find out whether implementing 5S could reduce interruptions in production systems in one of pipe and profile manufacturing units located in province of Semnan, Iran. The proposed study compares the mean and standard deviations of waste materials before and after the implementation of 5-S in three different lines and statistical tests indicate that 5-S have made the necessary change on production planning and it could reduce waste materials, significantly.
